A woman has been taken to hospital after a pile-up on the M20 this afternoon.

The seven-vehicle crash happened on the coast-bound carriageway between J11, for Hythe, and 11a, for Cheriton, at about 12.40pm.

One car hit the central reservation and overturned.

The woman was taken to the William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, with injuries described as not life-threatening.

Kent Police said there were no reports of other injuries.

All lanes of the carriageway were closed until just after 1.30pm while the road was cleared.

Traffic was diverted down the A20 at junction 11.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service sent two crews, from Hythe and Dover, but said no one was trapped.

Police and paramedics were also called and the woman was taken to hospital by ambulance.
